STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2026 KW 0602

VERSUS

CHRISTOPHER GOLDMOND AUGUST 10, 2026

In Re: Christopher Goldmond, applying for supervisory writs,

19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton

Rouge, No. DC - 20- 04272.

BEFORE: WOLFE, STROMBERG, AND BALFOUR, JJ.

WRIT DENIED AS PREMATURE. The petitioner may invoke the

supervisory jurisdiction of the court of appeal if the trial court
dismisses the application or otherwise denies relief on an

application for postconviction relief. La. Code Crim. P. art.

930. 6( A). At the time that relator filed this writ application and
the supplements, the district court had not acted on his
application for postconviction relief. Thus, his request for
relief is premature. In the event relator elects to seek review
of the dismissal of his application for postconviction relief, he

may do so without the necessity of obtaining a return date and the
writ application must be filed on or before November 24, 2026. Any
future filing
on this issue should include
s the district court'

ruling on the
application for postconviction relief and only the
contents of this application that may assist with reviewing the
district court' s ruling, and a copy of this ruling.
